Highland Babysitters

Hi, I’m Allison! I’m from McKinney, TX and have lived in Austin since graduating college in 2018. I work from home and do lots of babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I have lots of experience with toddlers, young kids, and even newborns. I can prepare meals and drive kids around if needed. I love dogs and cats, and would love to help your family out with some babysitting!* *I prefer to know in advance of booking if your child is sick, so that I can make an informed decision about the sit. I see lots of families and kids and don’t want to spread things around. Thank you!

Hello!! I am Mia, I'm a recent college graduate. I love taking care and spending time with adorable children. I have basically cared for children all my life; as someone that had a lot of younger cousins and family friends that slept over several times haha. That allowed me to get experience with taking good care of younger children. I love to play, and teach my kids new things, whether it's new songs for kids or drawing(something artistic)! I always encourage children to be expressive. I have about 5 years of experience. I have cared for infants/toddlers, bigger children and also disabled or autistic children.

Hi parents:)! My name is Lucero, and I am currently a Senior in the Nursing Program at UT Austin. I was born and raised in Austin, and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I have a genuine love for working with children, which is why babysitting has been such a rewarding experience for me. I have over three years of babysitting experience, working with children ranging from infants-teenagers. I am comfortable preparing light meals and cleaning up after the children’s toys. At this time, I am not comfortable providing pick-ups, drop-offs, or other household services. Additionally, I require a minimum booking of 4 hours.For hotel/apartment, babysitting bookings, free/guaranteed parking is required. If complimentary parking is not available, reimbursement is required. I am CPR and First Aid certified and feel confident handling emergency situations should they arise. I also pride myself on having strong communication skills and make it a priority to keep parents informed about their child’s activities, routines, and any concerns. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I would love the opportunity to support your family and hope to be a great fit for your childcare needs! 🤍

I’m a mom with a 10 year old daughter and a professional event planner! I lived and traveled all around the world for 6 years before settling in Austin with my daughter. I started babysitting when I was 11 years old (what a different time it was in the 90s!) for friends of family. It’s something I did off and on all through high school as well as working my fast food job. More recently—from 2016-2018 while being a SAHM, I nannied for two families while living in Dublin, Ireland. I’m still close friends with those families even though I’m back in the States. One of the families had toddler twins who didn’t speak English at the time! I have an MA in Cultural Anthropology and I worked as a museum specialist until I moved abroad. I’m looking to take on more babysitting work while I get my own event business started! I read a good story and like board games.

Hi! My name is Olivia, and I have been helping care for children since I can remember! I have six siblings, along with three nephews and two nieces, whom I consistently care for. In my hometown of Houston, I was a mentor in a volunteer program for at-risk elementary aged youth for around 1-2 years. I typically spend my summers, when i’m not in school, lifegaurding and nannying, where I continue to gain more experience. I can’t wait to meet your families and little ones!
